CAN 1T BE AVERTED?
The Danger Which Menaces an Un-
suspecting Public.
The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tives, in London, reports that over fifty
people out of every hundred consump-
tives, are victims OF constipated or inact-
i've kidneys.
Consumption is one of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove
during the last eight years, that kidney
troubles are not only the cause of more
than half the cases of consumption, but
of ninety out of every hundred other COM
mon diseases. They who have taken this
position, made their claims after elaborate
investigation, and their proof that they
have discovered specific for the terrible
and stealthy kidney diseases, which have
become SO prevalent among us, is wise
and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful advertis-
ing. They have challenged the medical
profession and science to investigate.
They have investigated, and those who
are frank have admitted the truth of their
statements. They claim that ninety per
cent. of diseases come originally from in
active Kidneys; that these inactive kidneys
allow the blood to become filled with
uric acid poison; that this uric acid poi
son in the blood carries disease through
every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in
the system within twenty -four hours to
kill half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it requires
only ordinary wisdom to see the effect in
active kidneys must have upon the sys-
tenn.
II this poison is not removed, it ruins
every organ. If the bowels, stomach or
liver become inactive, we know it at once,
but other organs help them out. If the
kidneys become constipated and dormant,
the warning comes later on, and often
when it is too late, because the effects are
remote from the kidneys and those Or
gans are not suspected to be out of
order.
Organs that are weak and diseZsed are
unable to resist the attacks of this poison,
and the disease often takes the form of
and is treated as a local affection, when
in reality the real cause of the trouble
was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men Of the present
day hold what was fact twenty years
ago, that kidney disease is incurable, &C.
cording to the medicines authorized by
their code. Hence, they ignore the orig
inal cause of disease itself, and give their
attention to the useless treating of local
effects.
They dose the patient with quinine,
morphine, or with salts and other physics,
hoping that thus nature may cure the dis
ease, while the kidneys continue to waste
away with inflammation, liberation and
decay, and the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the
kidneys. If the kidneys are diseased, the
blood soaks up this disease and takes it
all through the system. Hence it is, that
the claim is made that Warmers SAT
cure, the only known specific for kidney
disease, cures 80 per cent of human all
meDts, because it. and it alone, is able to
maintain the natural activity of the kid
peys, and to neutralize and remove the
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
formed.
IL this acid is not removed, there is in
activity of the kidneys, and there will be
produced in the system paralysis, apo
plexy, dyspepsia, consumption, heart dis
ease, headaches, rheumatism, pneumonia,
impotency, and all the nameless diseases
OF delicate women. If the poisonous mat
ter is separated from the blood, as fast as
it is formed, these diseases, in a majority
of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires particle of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease, and the
poisonous matter from the kidneys, pass
ing all through the system and becoming
lodged at different weak points, is equally
destructive, although more Disguised.
II it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood pass
ing through them goes to the heart and
lungs and other parts of the system, car
rying this deadly virus with it, all would
believe without hesitation what has so
often been stated in advertisements in
these columns, that the kidneys are the
most important organs in the body.
